To determine if the hard drive is the cause (eg a failing drive) you can test it with DOS diagnostic software supplied by the drive manufacturer, which in your case is Western Digital. Go here: WD Support / Downloads / SATA & SAS / WD VelociRaptor

You'll need to make a CD from the downloaded ISO file, then boot your faulty PC from that CD to test the drive. If you don't have any software for burning ISO files to CD, use this: The Official ImgBurn Website
